In the small room behind the study of Jinxiang Palace, Guo Shao turned the case on the wooden frame into a mess. Behind the **** Cao Tai's sharp voice: "What dossiers are looking for, and servants and maids ask for help."
Guo Shao didn't respond, and finally found a stack of files. He sat down at the table and read it for a while. His eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fingers to hold down a name: Feng Jiye.
Guo Shao patted his forehead, and finally remembered this name, which was exactly the person he was looking for.
Who is Feng Jiye? The original Shuofang Jiedu Envoy (Lingzhou) was cruel and warlike by nature. When he was in Lingzhou, he often attacked and killed the ministries and had very poor relations with the northwest ministries; he was later dismissed by Guo Shao.
In the past, Guo Shao, in order to conquer Youzhou in the north and stabilize the rear in the northwest, marry and compromise with the party members. One of the conditions in the negotiation was to kill Feng Jiye... It can be seen that this person has been hated by the party members! Guo Shao didn't kill that guy, but he removed him and replaced him with Zhede.
"Where is Feng Jiye now?" Guo Shao asked.
Cao Tai looked at a loss, thought for a moment and hurriedly said: "The slave and maidservant immediately go to the staff and ask the officials to report to your majesty."
Not long after, Cao Tai brought Feng Jiye's situation. Bureaucrats at the level of Feng Jiye will be noticed by the imperial court regardless of whether they are in office or not. After being deposed and returned to their hometown, local officials usually assume this responsibility.
Cao Tai said: "Feng Jiye returned to his hometown. According to the news at the end of last year, it is said that he bought a lot of land and was herding sheep..."
"Tell him not to herding sheep." Guo Shao said straight, "Tell Wang Pu to order Feng Jiye to be the Lingzhou defense envoy, command the Lingzhou town soldiers, and then transfer cavalry from the northwest towns to him."
Cao Tai hurriedly said: "The slave and maid complies with the order."
Guo Shao said solemnly: "Secretly order Feng Jiye to punish those who cannot be pardoned."
He finished speaking, as if he could smell a **** smell from the vibration of the sound... a word sometimes meant that blood was flowing into a river.
Aware of the consequences, Guo Shao suddenly thought: Deep down in his heart, how cruel and righteous is there? But what he can be sure of is that he certainly didn't behave so benevolent, even if he used Xuanren as the reign name.
He was tolerant and righteous to the people around him, ministers and subjects, but that was just a wise move. Guo Shao believes in one thing, if it goes against the interests of most people and everyone is dissatisfied with them, no matter how powerful they are, they will definitely be over.
...A few days later, in the Jinxiangdian Dynasty, under the attention of hundreds of civil and military personnel, Li Chuyun received the military power of the commander of the Western Expedition, and was handed over by the emperor with seals, royal orders, and soldiers.
Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao and other generals are in charge, but they need the assistance of at least four central government offices. At the same time, the "Hexi Qianying Military Mansion" will be formed, with Wei Renpu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, as the commander of the army, Li Gu, the prime minister, as the transshipment envoy, responsible for the dispatch of quarters, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry Zan Jurun as the supervising army.
The Hexi Army Corps is estimated to be composed of 50,000 foot cavalry. It is estimated that it will take about a month for the army to organize the guards of the Imperial Guards in the Central Plains and the northwestern states.
The Military Mansion took the lead in establishing the "Qianying Military Mansion" in the military camp on the northwest of Anyuan Gate. After the formation of an organization, everything can be arranged according to the rules.
In the rough barracks lobby, Li Chuyun walked into the military mansion, wearing a uniform and armor. A large group of people in the room looked sideways, some clasped their fists and marched in salute, and some clung their hands.
Li Chuyun strode up to the upper position, looked back left and right, raised his hands, and dozens of people gradually calmed down.
He put the big seal on the gong'an first, then took out the imperial decree, and asked the entourage to take it down and show it to everyone.
Li Chuyun cleared his throat and said loudly: "According to the emperor Xu's order, this lord will serve as the commander of the Hexi Army! From now on, the following military forces have the power to command, mobilize, deploy, and dispose of... "
He read it very solemnly. Although the house is so rough and old, and the place is not big, the ritual-like scenes made Li Chuyun excited, "God bless my emperor, longevity!"
"God bless my emperor, longevity without borders!" Zhu Wenwu immediately echoed the yelling, which was to admit that Li Chuyun's military power came from the emperor's courtesy!
Li Chuyun stood there, looking at the dust flying in the sun outside the gate, the familiar sound of horseshoes was endless, and his face flushed. He looked back on the left and right and said: "The majesty of a lot of things will definitely follow the emperor's iron cavalry and spread the four directions."
...The war machine of Tokyo Beam is working well. The news of starting a war is not uncommon to Xu Guo officials and people. People have long been accustomed to it, because there seems to be no year without war in these years.
No one can say why the court started the war so smoothly... The common people would not hate Xu Jun's war, because in recent years wars have always been in remote places and have not affected the lives of the people. Military generals will not refuse war. They need military merits. Military merits have brought glory to the ancestors and brought a lot of income. The silver coins from Japan continue to stimulate the desires of the soldiers.
Civil officials no longer prevent wars. Banks pay dividends quickly, which is much easier than collecting land rent. Compared with deploying a large number of troops to defend on the frontier, offensives make officials in power feel that national defense has saved a lot of trouble and they have land wealth. Can also be guaranteed. Under the rising national power, the increasingly wealthy life made officials not want to block the emperor's ambitions.
Just like this Western Expedition, the ministers somehow happened. Teams of soldiers gathered in the northern city of Tokyo, and people realized that the war was about to begin again, and everything seemed like an absurd dream. The relentless national policy, but it can be so smooth|smooth, it seems that it has gradually broken away from the teachings of ancient sages.
Private envoy Wang Pu once played chess with Guo Shao in the Hall of Yangde, and he talked about this, "The veteran can't tell what's wrong, but he occasionally feels restless. Big Xu Wenzhi martial arts, the image of prosperity , But Shengshi shouldn’t be like that."
Guo Shao asked: "What does Wang Shijun think?"
Wang Pudao: "As at the time of Zhenguan, the prosperous world is peaceful, the world is governed by Datong, and the eternal king is the emperor."
"Conservation does not necessarily lead to stability." Guo Shao put a chess piece on the chessboard, "I asked the emperor, why is the peace and prosperity always unsustainable and will eventually lead to chaos?"
Wang Pu frowned and said: "Your Majesty's question, I am afraid it is not clear in one or two sentences, it must be tens of thousands of words."
Guo Shao shook his head and said: "I think the most fundamental reason is that the land and resources are not enough to withstand the ever-increasing population; therefore, wars and plagues have caused the population to shrink sharply and regain balance. No matter the east, the west, the world This is true in all countries."
Wang Pu felt very strange upon hearing this, and was stunned for a while.
Guo Shao glanced at him: "The Tao Te Ching says that the world is not benevolent and everything is a dog. The rules of the world are similar to those of birds, beasts and ants, and he wants to achieve great harmony in the world and a paradise among the saints. I'm afraid there is no way.
I am also thinking about what to do... But until now, I still feel that a country that expands space and expands can survive. When the population is too large, they will migrate to other places to relieve the pressure.
In the past two years, we have found a way to exile all prisoners who violate the law, the people involved, and those who rebel against the uprising to the province. The criminal atonement in a remote place is also a kind of rebirth. "
Wang Pu could not refute Guo Shao.
Guo Shao knows that Wang Pu is very intelligent, but even genius is subject to insight. Obviously, Wang Pu could not use ancient knowledge to refute Guo Shao... Wang Pu did not dare to argue, after all, he was facing the emperor.
But Wang Pu was silent and did not approve of Guo Shao's remarks.
Guo Shao understands Wang Pu's feelings a little bit...
I remember a sentence in my previous life. Some people said that Chinese people have no religious beliefs since ancient times, and it is difficult to understand that it can last so long. Guo Shao feels that people have another kind of belief, which is similar to Wang Pu's current feeling; that kind of belief is not a belief in a specific god, but a very mysterious concept: the heart of awe.
Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism are all like this. People in the world are not very religious about anything, but scholars will do things like building roads and paving bridges to accumulate good destiny. They faintly feel that there are gods in their heads, and they dare not let go of anything. Got dry. Even a monk who believes in Buddhism dare not curse the gods in the Chenghuang Temple at will.
And now Guo Shao completely ignores the path of ancient sages and does everything he believes. No wonder people with knowledge are worried.
After a long time, Wang Pu said: "Feng Jiye should be in Lingzhou soon, what will he do there?"
Guo Shao looked at each other, speechless.
"I only do the right things." Guo Shao said suddenly. There was a vibrato in his voice. Perhaps he was not sober at this time, but as an emperor, he shouldn't be unconfident.
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Guo Shao is just a young man. Up to now, he doesn't even understand the "Book of Changes". He really has limited understanding of the world... But he feels that he is a practitioner.
"Have you ever seen the world of Great Harmony? We don't have to describe a dream. There is still a way to go and try." Guo Shao said.
He stood up, took out a glass bottle from a drawer, and handed it to Wang Pu.
Wang Pu took over and looked at the gray powder inside, and asked: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"Limestone and volcanic ash are mixed together and burned in a brick kiln. They are ground into ash, mixed with water and sand. It can be clay." Guo Shaodao, "I spent several months constantly experimenting with various minerals. ."
Wang Pu pointed the bottle to the light of the window, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to use this thing to repair the fortress on the battlefield?"
Guo Shao said: "That's the case. Ishimi Fort has confirmed the defensive power of Liuhua Fort. I am trying to reinforce this fortress and construct a more stable defense organization. After it is built, no one will want to attack it."
His eyes are piercing, and he said a little excitedly: "I will build fortresses wherever I can reach, and let the guards guard the vast territory!"
Guo Shao can hardly suppress the idea of mastering the world in his heart. Whether it is a simple mixture of gunpowder, a ship made of wooden sails, or a fortress built with clay or earth, he thinks that the simplest technique can be used To rule the whole world.
As people's hearts grew, everything was hard to restrain.
